I'm teetotal for a year (just passed three months) and I've been surprised by the quality of non-alcoholic beers available. The Erdinger basically tastes like Weissbier and I find myself paying attention to the bar staff pouring it to make sure it really isn't normal beer. Beck's Blue is dreadful but - having said that - it basically just tastes like Beck's, so I guess that's impressive... ?

Went out with camera for the first time in months yesterday. Nothing spectacular but quite liked this one. View from the Hayling Billy disused railway line over Langstone Harbour to Portsmouth. I came here once when I was a small child with an aunt. I can't remember why, I think something was going on in the family. But I couldn't remember where it was for years and years. I remembered a lot of traffic noise, a small, odd beach, and a derelict bridge. And then a couple of years ago I stumbled on this car park and remembered...

1) I took photos using a Canon 60D2) Uploaded those photos to a Microsoft Surface Pro 23) Processed the Camera Raw files in Photoshop4) Saved the processed Raws down to instagram-height jpegs.5) Emailed the jpegs to myself and Zelda6) Then we each further processed them in instagram, cropping, filtering, etc.7) posted them live.

We busted our asses in my seasonally chilly art truck for about 6 hours and put out 10 photos (we took a few hundred, these are the ones that worked the best on quick review).

You can see our slightly different final takes on our respective instagram feeds: oddbill and gold_cartridge.

Or, to make it easy, here are mine below.

(I made the body chain she is wearing. The gas mask is Finnish. Zelda, as always, is the bomb. The very bomb.)
